The Astronaut's Gear
The next stop was a room filled with space suits and equipment. Sarah's eyes widened as she saw a real astronaut's suit up close. It was white and bulky, with a large helmet attached.
"This suit protects astronauts in space," explained Alex. "It provides oxygen, regulates temperature, and shields them from harmful radiation."
Sarah raised her hand. "Is it heavy?" she asked.
Alex nodded. "On Earth, it weighs about 280 pounds! But in space, there's no gravity, so it feels much lighter."
Sarah imagined floating in space, wearing the big white suit. She wondered what it would be like to be an astronaut.
